"Watch time is king" is outdated boardroom talk
Heard this Tuesday: a creator quoting a 2017 keynote about total watch time. Sources say the metric that moves the needle now is relative — not raw minutes.

The system compares your retention and session behavior against similar videos, not against an absolute clock. A tight 6-minute video that holds 60% can outrank a sprawling 25-minute one that holds 25%.
—
Padding length to farm minutes now backfires.

What does this mean for a channel like yours? Cut the fat. Beat the topic's average retention; don't chase a watch-time vanity total. Confidence: high.
